Yesterday, there was a weird customer. I had seen her before, and i remembered she was a difficult customer. And she was. She kept saying,"This one fifty percent ah? But still twenty something leh" and asked if there were new pieces for everything she tried. In the end she bought $70++. What the... *TOOT*!
Reported for work at 11.30am today.
Customer traffic was terribly little, considering it was a Saturday. I guess everyone had flocked to the great sale at Isetan. Four days, starting from yesterday. Even i went there too to check out stuff. Hahaha.
I discovered there were a lot of nice caps at Xcraft yeaterday. Gonna make a trip there sometime.
Then Shi Yng served this customer, who tried a lot, and got a lot of new pieces to try. She wanted to buy two pieces, but in the end she only bought a piece of knitwear(dresses and office wear are more profitable =>). Somehow she found a problem with the blouse. ~_~"
Break time. Bought something at Baleno. (Baleno and Hang Ten were fighting next to each other.) Then i went to NTUC to buy mineral water for Siew Foon. Cheapest, plus offer. Sixty-five cents. Hahaha. Got a copy of I-weekly.
Went back and read magazines. As i flipped the pages the smoking ad appeared again. Ooh... Hahaha. Shi Yng was damn disapproving of the picture.
Droned through the day.
List of things i did in the shop to kill time:
1. Meow-ed.
2. Laid down on the table. (my head only)
3. Tried to touch my outstretched hand with my toes. Gymnastics. Haha. I did it! YAY!
4. Scaring Shi Yng with the female 'ghost', as she calls it.
5. Ka jiao-ing customers' babies.
Siew Foon called yesterday night(she left early) to tell us that she saw handsome guys on her way home. They were some sort of a band. Nobody bothered to go. So today, we decided to go to the flea market, and, if possible, check out that guy SF was talking about. (I had no idea where a flea market could be set up in Tampines.) And SF wanted to get earrings.
Ok. So Shi Yng knocked off at 9.30pm today. I thought she would go home with her boyfriend, but she came back at 10pm later. So the four of us made our way to the flea market. So it was just opposite TM, along a stretch of pathway just below the aerial train tracks. There wasn't any band performance when we reached. Most of the stalls were owned by Malays.We walked along, and i got a pair of rings(they were supposed to be couple rings, HAHA, but i got both for myself). Ok so now i have three rings on my fingers. Shi Yng and her boyfriend got a pair, and a somewhat keychain with squishy-mushy stuff inside a layer of plastic. SF payed for me cause i didn' have cash left.
It was just a short stretch. So i said bye and made my way back to TM. Just when i was crossing the road, I saw a familiar face. She's pint-sized, skinny, tiny. SUET LING. Damn she really had her hair done. I saw her. It was obviously her. I could recognise her. But it seemed like she didn't see me at all. It must be she's too distracted to notice me, or she's just pretending she didn't see me to save all the trouble. Whatever. But i think it's the latter. I mean, it's so obvious. I'm wearing the Dano uniform and it's not like a dark alley or something. I managed to steal a glance back and see what has become of her hair. Ok. It's so dolly. Big hair for a small person. Hahaha.
I realised people were still queuing up at Sweetalk. So i went to join in the queue. I was real thirsty. Then the China girl came out and made an 'announcement'. She told a guy behind me(perhaps cause i'm a regular customer) to stop queuing, because they were closing soon, at 10.40pm. She told everyone that we could continue to queue if we thought we would reach the front by 10.40pm, but any orders after 10.40pm would be rejected and it won't be their fault. Next moment, I turned around and saw everone gone except that blue shirt guy. Reached the front, but somehow the others went to wash up, and the China girl took the guy's order first. She told him that he was very stubborn That guy just replied,"It's not 10.40pm yet mah" Hahaha. Ordered. Hurray! I'm the last customer of the day for 'em! YIPPEE! That's an honour.
Waited for the bus. It came, but not after i finished my drink. There weres till some pearls left. So i took it up the bus. C-R-A-M-M-E-D. I knew it, judging by the number of people at the bus stop. One woman had to stand on the steps. Shifted, crammed, squeezed. Alighted at my stop. Gotta buy Ramly burger for my brother. And i ordered. Then I was like, "Oh shit!" i double-checked, and there sure was nothing in my wallet except for a few coins. So i hurriedly told the vendor,"Sorry aunite, I don't want it anymore" Shudder. I called my brother and he volunteered to throw down the money. Bullshit.
Oh. And I saw the smoking ad again. There was a poster of it pasted on the noticeboard of the lift lobby of my block.
In the end my papa and mama takeaway 豆浆油条 for us. Yummy.
Still have yet to check out the entry fare for the Euro funfair as i'd promised Shi Yng to.
Laaalaaalaaalaaa... One full week. Just.
